, To ,cr/l ruiten?, it may con-cern:

i Be it known thatI, ABRAM M. ROOS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kingston, in the county of Ulster and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a speciication.

My invention has relation to a bottle, and particularly to the stopple or valve device therefor for rendering such a bottle of a nonrellable type or kind, and in such connection it relates to the construction and arrangement of thedevices in the bottle for the said purpose.

The principle object of my invention is to provide a bottle with a stopple or valve device mounted in the neck of the bottle and so arranged as to permit-of the contents of the bottle being readily discharged by inverting or tilting the same, anda bottle in which further use is prevented or refilling of the same rendered impossible without destroying or mutilating certain parts connected with the stopple or valve device mounted in the neck of the bottle.

My invention, stated in general terms, consists of a non-refillable bottle when constructed and arranged in substantially the manner hereinafter described and claimed.

The nature and characteristic features of my invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which- Figure l is a vertical central sectional view of the neck and upper portion of a bottle, showing a stopple or valve device mounted in a bottle embodying the main features of my .invention and showing the valve in vits normally-closed condition when the bottle is occupying an upright position. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the neck of a bottle with my invention mounted therein and with the perforated valve in an inverted position in its chamber for permitting of the discharge of the fluid contents from the bottle when the latter occupies a turned u pside-down position; and Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the perforated valve and its perforated sleeve or stem detached from its chamber, which is adapted to be mounted in a packing or cork housing in the neck of the bottle,as illustrated, for example, in Figs. l and 2.

Referring to the drawings, A is the bottle in broken section and provided with a neck 0L. B is the valve-chamber, being a part of the valve of my present invention, and provided with the upper outletyb' from the bottle and lower tubular inlet b to the bottle. This chamber,witli its inlet, is mounted in the neck a in a packing of cork or other preferred mav terial b2 and the outlet b' of the chamber Bis ring b3, the whole engaging the recessed portion ct of the interior surface of the neck a of the bottle, as clearly illustrated in Figs; l and 2 of the drawings.

cis a band spanning the exterior surface of the neck a of the bottle and provided with spurs or tacks c', extending through openings provided in the neck d of the bottle into the body of the ring b3 and arranged so that the band or the like c must be mutilated or destroyed by removal of the spurs or tacks c before the bottle can again be used for filling with a fluid substance or other preferred material.

B is a weighted cup-shaped valve with a hollow perforated stem movably fitting into the chamber B and with its stem afforded a play up and down in the inlet b to the bottle. This valve B in a sidewise or preferably a downward movement of the bottle, as illustrated in Fig. 2, will permit of the contents of the bottle Iiowing through the hollow stem of the valve and the series of apertures d, provided therein, into the body of the chamber around the main body of the valve B and outward through the outlet b of the valvechamber B into the upper portion of the neck of the bottle and therefrom into any suitable receptacle to receive the same. It may be here remarked that if the bottle be again caused to assume the position illustrated in Fig. l and a fluid poured into the neck of the bottle the same will ow through the outlet b' of the chamberB and lill the cup-shaped valve B and flow over the same into the chamber B until it has become filled, but without any of the fluid finding its way into the bottle, because access thereto is shut off by the weight of the fluid bearing down on the valve IOO in its chamber and confining tightly the hollow stem of the said valve B in its chamber or inlet b of the chamber B to the bottle, thereby preventing refilling of the bottle without removing the band c, surrounding the neck ot' the bottle, and along therewith the spurs or tacks c', engaging through the openings of the neck the packing-ring or body b3, surrounding the hollow tubular outlet b of the valve-chamber B from the bottle, and removing then the said ring or body along with the valve-chamber B and its packing b2.

Having thus described the nature and object of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A non rellable bottle, comprising a valve-chamber provided with an inlet and an outlet and mounted in a packing in the neck 4of the bottle and a cup-shaped valve provided with recesses or openings in the upper portion and said valve mounted in said chamber provided with a hollow stem having openings therein, and securing means extending through the neck of said bottle into the packing within the neck thereof, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. A non-rellable bottle, comprising a tubular valve-chamber provided with a tubular inlet and a tubular outlet and mounted in a suitable packing in the neck of the bottle, a cup-shaped valve provided with semicircular recesses or openings in the upper portion mounted in said chamber, a hollow stem with openings therein mounted in the inlet of said chamber to the bottle, and a band surrounding the neck of the bottle and provided with spurs or tacks extending through the neck of the bottle and into the packing within the neck of said bottle, substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. A non-refillable bottle provided with a valve-chamber having a body portion and upper and lower tubular portions suitably Yheld in a packing in the neck of the bottle, a

weighted cup-shaped valve with a semicircular recessed upper edge and a tubular barrel or stem having a series of openings extending therethrough, said valve mounted in the body of said chamber and said barrel or stem engaging in the lower tubular portion ot' said chamber, a band surrounding the neck of said bottle,and securing means extending through said band on the neck of the bottle and into the packing within the neck thereof, substantially as and for the purposes described.

4E. A non-reillable bottle provided with a Weighted cup-shaped valve with a perforated stem mounted in a complemental chamber provided with a tubular barrel in packing recessed into the neck of the bottle and a band spanning the neck of said bottle with securing means extending through the bottle into said packing, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto set my signature in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
